I’m craving the fresh flavors of summer. Even more so this year. Summer means that we will be settled in a new state. In a new apartment. With new opportunities. It means that 63 balls will no longer be necessary to juggle at once. It means that we will have said goodbye to the life we are now clinging on to. It means that we will be a little older and, if we’re lucky, a little wiser. It means that we will have survived.

Maybe it’s premature to crave the flavors of summer. But sometimes you need to be reminded. That it’s coming. That it’s not an oasis.

So I made bruschetta. And it’s covered in the fresh flavors of summer. It’s so real I can almost taste it.

For the recipe, head over to Mint and have a taste. Do the baguettes look familiar?

    Delicious! I would even rub some extra garlic on the bread. :)

    …it means that you will be making bruschetta with tomatoes, onions and basil that you bought at the Wooster Street Farmer’s Market, or perhaps at Niko’s in East rock. And then you can pack it all in a picnic and take it to one of the beaches up the coast!

    Beautiful photos as always

    you will most certainly be wiser… thinking of you :)

  6. Your pics are always so beautiful.

  7. Recipes like this are dangerous, for me. I’ve only recently been able to tolerate gluten (in small amounts) – but I fear I’d plop down on the couch with this bruschetta and eat the entire plate in one sitting. If you couldn’t tell, I have no self control. But only around bread and chocolate, so it’s not that bad.

  8. I love bruschetta because it’s such an easy appetizer, yours looks absolutely delicious Melissa!

  9. There really is nothing better than bruschetta, is there? This looks lovely.

  11. Your photography is stunning – you’ve made something quite simple look beautifully elegant.
